Anyone in search for a photographer needs to consider Octavio Montes. He was absolutely amazing at my wedding in Cancun. I think his work speaks for itself. My husband and I were so happy with choosing him as our photographer. So easy to work with and very creative. The following is his link: http://www.OctavioMontes.com

Referring back to my earlier post, we decided to contract with the Shine Band. So far the communication has been fantastic and they are really easy to work with and VERY quick with answering all my questions. I will post after the wedding to give a full review of their services.

To all the upcoming Royal Playa Del Carmen Brides, have you had a difficult time communicating with your off site coordinator?

I'm recently engaged and were thinking of having a wedding here. I spoke with a travel agent and they seem to be pushing the karisma hotels on me, they are all really nice but a friend of mine went here and said she loved how close it was to 5th Ave. Anywho, without being too nosy can someone give me a ball park figure on what ther spent on their wedding for guest between 40-50.

Thanks.

I get worried that cost here will be the same as cost if I stayed at home to do it.

I was lucky enough to meet another bride on here that got married at the Royal in January and had the same wedding colors as me so she's made my planning much simpler! As I mentioned, I am getting my bridesmaid bouquets through Flores Riviera Maya and my bouquet through the resort. My package also comes with a bout so I will get that but I think for everyone else I am doing starfish bouts.

I'm getting my hair and make-up done at the spa at the resort and doing a hair trial the day before. I am planning to take my wedding party girls to get massages on the beach. I have heard they are MUCH cheaper than the resort ($25 hr compared to like $70 at the resort). I actually have reservations at Veronica's on 5th for massages which has rave reviews on TripAdvisor.

As for food, I haven't picked the menu yet but I'll let you know as soon as I do. It's the most difficult decision for me! For the cake I am doing a simple cake design that I sent them and taking a cake topper and plan to decorate it with a a couple fresh lilies. I chose Tres Leches as the flavor based on other reviews.

We will about 30 people so it is on the smaller side. We are doing the ceremony at the gazebo, cocktail hour on the patio and the reception either on gazebo garden or beach by gazebo.

That's the basics for now. Feel free to ask questions. My off site coordinator is Mariana and she has been pretty good to work with. I haven't got assigned my on-site coordinator yet but should soon. I'll be sure take lots of notes and pictures while I'm there and report back. I did not do a site visit so I am trusting the advice and suggestions of other brides!

Hi!!!

we are planning our wedding at the Royal, I would love to see pictures of your wedding! How did it go?

If you're okay with sharing, what ended up being your budget or total spent?
